Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,500.
Lots of updates to this MB/GPW.

“PLEASE read the entire listing.This is for the entire lot I am not interested in selling just one Jeep or one of anything else. Putting this out there to see how much interest I can find. My father is thinking about selling off his collection of Willys jeeps and all the parts he has accumulated over his 30+ years of putting these back together. His parts collection is vast and we are thinking to sell off the whole lot , which may include two running and driving 1946 cj2a’s. He has complete running gear, rolling chassis (2) , there is a V8 set up 289cid. With a Jeep T90 w/overdrive complete, he has a MB windshield and a top, but mostly his parts are CJ 2A. Let me know if you have any interest. I will be taking pictures and inventorying everything in the next couple weeks. price is not 100.00 marketplace will not list without something in that field”

“Willys Jeep
World War 2
Jeep is titled at a 1950
Was purchased from an estate after the previous owner had passed. He had a few jeeps in his collection.
I purchased this car non running with a seized motor. The Jeep now runs and idles smoothly. It is still a project that needs a lot more work but I did the difficult parts of getting it back up and running.
For the next owner you will need to take care of the brakes before any serious driving can happen. Master definitely needs to be replaced.
Car is in WEST LA. Can be shown Monday – Friday 10-6 and weekends by appointment.
Title in hand.”
Has an Lightening engine. Also has some rarer Hub Lok hubs.
